Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 14: Haunted Hall (Please collect and read)

In the secular world, evil spirits are divided into different categories.

Among them, the lower level and most numerous are the spirits that are transformed from living creatures after death. This type is called "ghosts".

In addition to ghosts, there are also spirits, monsters, etc.

Although they are collectively called evil spirits by the secular people, they are completely different in nature...

Recalling the post posted by the site owner in his mind, Lin Beixuan seemed not to notice the hand that suddenly appeared behind him, and stared at the approaching darkness in front of him.

Until the furry claw was placed on his shoulder, the cold and chilly breath almost froze half of his body. Lin Beixuan drew his knife in an instant, with a fierce look between his brows, and chopped at the claw on his shoulder.

His sudden change seemed to frighten the invading darkness, and even his furry paw trembled.

People are afraid of villains, not because of how strong their fighting power is, because when everyone is holding a knife, it is uncertain who will live and who will die. However, villains can often rely on their fierce aura to reduce the opponent's strength by 30%, and the winner after the fight is usually the villain.

The same principle applies to evil spirits.

All creatures in the world are equal at first. If you are afraid, you will first weaken your own momentum, and then even if you could have won the game originally, you will not be able to win it later.

Lin Beixuan was born with an extremely vicious fate, and he had decades of experience as a villain. Although it was not obvious at ordinary times, when it came to a life-threatening situation, his vicious side would naturally erupt.

People are afraid of those who are more evil than themselves, and evil spirits are also afraid of them.

Lin Beixuan's sudden move shocked all the ghosts and monsters around him, and they were unable to recover for a while.

But Lin Beixuan didn't care about that. He chopped off the furry claw with one knife.

He had already noticed something unusual behind him and was just waiting. Once the other party touched him, he would be able to obtain the other party's information through the panel.

When the other person's hand touched him, although half of his body was frozen, there was a prompt on the panel.

[You encounter a special target: Yellow-skinned woman - Grandma Jiu. ]

[You come into contact with and fight against the Yellow Skin Man - Ninth Aunt, and successfully obtain 20 Years Old Coins from her.]

[Your behavior has made Auntie Jiu extremely angry, and her favorability towards you has dropped by -100.]

[Huangpizi: A spiritual creature in folklore, transformed from a yellow fox, possessing certain magical powers, knowing how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and how to predict geomancy.]

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that the one who wanted to harm him was the legendary yellow-skinned monster. He thought that this kind of thing only existed in their Xuan Kingdom. He didn't expect that the other party also had this title in the secular world.

In many folk legends of Xuan Country, the yellow-skinned beast is called the Yellow Immortal, but that is just a name given to it deliberately by ordinary people because they are afraid of the yellow-skinned beast. Its true identity is just a wild monster.

Generally, in rural areas, there might be people who worship and offer sacrifices to it, and no one would dare to provoke it easily, but Lin Beixuan would not fall for it.

A knife cut off Grandma Jiu's claws, which made Grandma Jiu very angry. After a scream, she immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Beixuan knew that the other party did not retreat, but was waiting for the opportunity to bite his throat.

Weasels are extremely vengeful creatures. If you provoke them, they will most likely come after you with their entire family, so Lin Beixuan had no intention of letting Grandma Jiu go back.

He was also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opponent to pounce and then kill him with one blow.

Sitting on the doorstep, Lin Beixuan tilted his head to stare at the hesitant darkness in front of him and snorted coldly.

"You thought that now that Butler Xu is gone, you could bully me at will. Haha... Then you can try it."

"I also want to see if a ghost will die again after its head is chopped off."

Lin Beixuan's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent. He didn't know what was in the darkness in front of him, but it was crucial to speak harshly and show his momentum.

As the saying goes, people are 30% afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are 70% afraid of people. The more you are afraid of it, the more likely it will come to you.

He promised to guard this place for the housekeeper, and he would naturally do his best. Seeing that the thing in the dark did not dare to approach for the time being, Lin Beixuan took out the iron box from his arms and put it aside.

He also had a second plan. If he couldn't hold on any longer, he would open the iron box and take out the contents.

Anyway, the probability is 50-50. He has no chance of survival if he can't hold on. It's better to open the box. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

Lin Beixuan didn't want to die unless it was absolutely necessary, because death would mean the loss of his lifespan in this world, and he would feel very uncomfortable every time he was resurrected after death. He was not ready to die until he made the soul-chasing incense.

The most important material for making soul-repelling incense is the essence of evil spirits condensed in the body of an evil spirit, and then auxiliary materials such as lard, saltpeter, wood powder, etc.

Silently reciting the method of making soul-chasing incense, Lin Beixuan looked at the darkness in front of him and sneered.

As long as anything dares to get close, he will be ready to fight for the raw materials of the soul-chasing incense.

But during this strange stalemate, people are on high alert and their nerves are inevitably relaxed at times.

Lin Beixuan blinked his eyes, and his vision became blurry for a moment. At this moment, the approaching darkness seemed to have no intention of waiting any longer, and suddenly rushed forward, trying to swallow up the light where Lin Beixuan was.

The yellow fox took advantage of this opportunity to jump up from the wall next to him, intending to knock the red lantern down.

By the time Lin Beixuan came to his senses, the yellow-skinned man had already pounced on the lanterns and knocked one down.

In an instant, half of Lin Beixuan's body was shrouded in darkness. Through the afterglow of the scattered light, he saw several transparent shadows rushing towards him in the darkness.

[You encounter a special target: the vengeful spirit - Fang Caiyi. ]

[You encounter a special target: the vengeful spirit - Liu Tiezhu. ]

[You encounter a special target: the cat-faced old lady - Lan Fengzhen. ]

……

As darkness approached, the prompts on the panel became more urgent, the information scrolled quickly, and one piece of information after another changed rapidly.

Lin Beixuan turned his head and saw an old lady with a cat face squatting beside him, her face less than half a meter away from him.

The silky white shadow danced in his peripheral vision again, and a cold breath continued to come. The fat man with an honest face but a grim smile on his lips opened his arms and wanted to hug him...

There were countless ghosts wandering around him, and Lin Beixuan felt like his whole body was frozen. It was much colder than the yellow-skinned man's hand just now.

"call……"

Lin Beixuan exhaled a long wisp of white air. The coldness around him made his palms turn blue, and purple bruises like ghost hand prints appeared on his face.

"I know that in the past, some of you were persecuted and died unjustly, and some of you were abandoned by your children and froze to death on the roadside... But these are not reasons for you to come and harm me."

"In that case, I'm going to give it a try, too, to see who lives and who dies!"

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan tore off the yellow paper talisman stuck on the iron box and opened the iron box.

Suddenly, a disastrous aura rose into the sky, wrapped around Lin Beixuan's flesh, and drilled into his body as if it had life.

The ghosts that were originally surrounding were all frightened when they saw this breath, and hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be contaminated by it.

Lin Beixuan originally thought that he was extremely unlucky, as he had found death when he opened the box. He was ready to say goodbye to the shrine, but he never expected that words would suddenly appear on the panel.

[You opened the sealed iron box, and the evil spirit of the secular god absorbed your life.]

[You successfully obtained the Funeral Device: Ghost Hall. ]
